Descriptions and Features
The F&W Artesian Drive is a dependable water system
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) that uses custom
programming to enhance the performance of standard
centrifugal pumps. When applied correctly to three phase
motor driven pumps, the Artesian Drive eliminates pressure
cycling associated with conventional pressure switch
controlled water pumping systems and provides a constant
output pressure.
KEY FEATURES OF THE ARTESIAN DRIVE INCLUDE:
•
Constant water pressure with a wide range of settings
(15-95 psi) (Note: The maximum obtainable system
pressure is limited by the performance of the pump
installed)
•
Smaller pressure tank can be used
•
Fits the pump to the application – pump speed is
controlled to provide the optimum performance without
overloading the motor
•
Flexibility – you can use this unit with standard off-the-
shelf pumps and 3-Phase motors
•
No in-rush (power-on transient) current
•
Protection features
-
Dry run conditions – using intelligent load
monitoring (see Page 7)

High voltage / lightning surge
-
Low line voltage
-
Short circuit
